Isaiah 43
1 But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.
Bet nu Tas Kungs, tavs Radītājs, Jēkab, un tavs darītājs, Israēl, saka tā: nebīsties, jo Es tevi esmu atpestījis, Es tevi esmu saucis pie tava vārda; tu esi Mans.
2 When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.
Kad tu iesi caur ūdeņiem, tad Es būšu pie tevis, un caur upēm, tad tās tevi nepārplūdīs. Kad tu iesi caur uguni, tad tu nesadegsi, un liesma tevi neaizdedzinās.
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour; I have given Egypt as a price for you, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
Jo Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla, tavs Pestītājs. Ēģipti Es dodu par tavu izpirkšanas maksu, Moru zemi un Sabu tavā vietā.
4 Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.
Tāpēc ka tu esi dārgs Manās acīs un cienīgs, un Es tevi mīļoju, Es esmu devis cilvēkus tavā vietā un tautas par tavu dvēseli.
5 Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;
Nebīsties, jo Es esmu pie tevis, Es atvedīšu tavu dzimumu no rīta puses un tevi sapulcināšu no vakara puses.
6 I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;
Es sacīšu uz ziemeli: Dod šurp! Un uz dienvidu: Neaiztur! Atved Manus dēlus no tālienes un Manas meitas no zemes galiem,
7 Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.
Ikkatru, kas pēc Mana Vārda nosaukts, un ko Es esmu radījis Sev par godu, ko esmu taisījis un darījis.
8 Send out the blind people who have eyes, and those who have ears, but they are shut.
Atved tos aklos ļaudis, kam tomēr acis, un tos kurlos, kam tomēr ausis.
9 Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.
Lai visi pagāni top sapulcināti, un tautas lai sanāk kopā. Kurš no tiem to stāstīs? Lai tie mums stāsta tās pagājušās lietas, lai tie atved savus lieciniekus un taisnojās, ka šie dzird un saka: Tas ir tiesa.
10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.
Jūs esat Mani liecinieki, saka Tas Kungs, un Mans kalps, ko esmu izredzējis, lai jūs atzīstat un Man ticat un saprotat, ka Es tas esmu. Priekš Manis neviens dievs nav bijis un pēc Manis neviens nebūs.
11 I, even I, am the Lord; and there is no saviour but me.
Es, Es esmu Tas Kungs, un Pestītāja nav kā vien Es.
12 I gave the word, and made it clear, and there was no strange god among you: for this reason you are my witnesses, says the Lord.
Es esmu pasludinājis, Es esmu palīdzējis, Es esmu zināmu darījis, un sveša(dieva) nebija jūsu starpā. Un jūs esat Mani liecinieki, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es esmu Dievs.
13 From time long past I am God, and from this day I am he: there is no one who is able to take you out of my hand: when I undertake a thing, by whom will my purpose be changed?
Arī no šīs dienas Es esmu tas pats, un neviena nav, kas var izglābt no Manas rokas; ko Es daru, kas to var novērst?
14 The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, jūsu Pestītājs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla: jūsu dēļ Es uz Bābeli esmu sūtījis un visus Kaldejus aizdzinis, ka bija jābēg ar tām laivām, ar kurām bija līksmojušies.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Maker of Israel, your King.
Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Svētais, Israēla Radītājs, jūsu ķēniņš!
16 This is the word of the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a road through the deep waters;
Tā saka Tas Kungs, kas ceļu darījis jūrā un teku stipros ūdeņos,
17 Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.
Kas izved ratus un zirgus, kara pulku un spēku, - kopā tie ir apgūlušies, tie necelsies atkal augšām, tie ir izdzēsti, kā dakts tie ir izdzisuši.
18 Give no thought to the things which are past; let the early times go out of your minds.
Nepieminiet tās vecās lietas un nedomājiet vairs uz to, kas pagājis.
19 See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.
Redzi, Es daru jaunas lietas; jau plaukst, jūs to atzīsiet; Es darīšu ceļu tuksnesī un upes tukšās vietās.
20 The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:
Zvēri laukā Mani godās, šakāļi un strausi, jo Es ūdeni došu tuksnesī un upes tukšā vietā, dzirdināt Savus ļaudis, Savus izredzētos.
21 Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.
Šos ļaudis Es Sev esmu radījis, tie teiks Manu slavu.
22 But you have made no prayer to me, O Jacob: and you have given no thought to me, O Israel.
Un tu Mani neesi piesaucis, Jēkab, nedz Manis pēc pūlējies, Israēl!
23 You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.
Tu Man neesi atnesis savu dedzināmo upuru avis, nedz Mani godājis ar saviem kaujamiem upuriem. Es tevi neesmu kalpinājis ar ēdamiem upuriem, nedz tevi apgrūtinājis ar vīraku.
24 You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.
Tu Man neesi par naudu pircis smaržīgas kalmes un neesi Mani mielojis ar savu upuru taukiem. Bet tu Mani esi kalpinājis ar saviem grēkiem, tu Mani esi apgrūtinājis ar saviem noziegumiem.
25 I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.
Es, Es tas esmu, kas izdeldu tavus pārkāpumus Sevis dēļ un nepieminu tavus grēkus.
26 Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.
Atgādini Mani, lai mēs kopā tiesājamies, teic jel, kā tu vari taisnoties.
27 Your first father was a sinner, and your guides have gone against my word.
Tavs pirmais tēvs ir grēkojis un tavi aizstāvētāji pret Mani noziegušies.
28 Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.
Tāpēc Es esmu licis negodā svētuma virsniekus un Jēkabu nodevis lāstam un Israēli kaunam.
